I think it could be fun to use her help and ideas. I vote that we ask her for ideas in promoting membership and our auctions if nothing else but just to see what she comes up with. I wonder if she thinks we are associated with the Seattle Aquarium. I would be willing to spend the time to talk with her over the phone or in person. We could also invite her (and a friend if she would feel more comfortable that way) to one of our board meetings or maybe better yet we should just have her drop by one of our general meetings. Maybe we could encourage her to start keeping fish too!! 8^) Scott > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2000 14:00:17 EDT > From: MelissabrownRBA@aol.com > To: erik@thekrib.com > Subject: Public Relations Project > > I am a senior in Communications at the University of Washington and I am > currently taking a Public Relations Writing course at the School of Visual > Concepts in Seattle.
